Title: Measuring the eye height of a data-waveform
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1980-12-06
Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the eye height of a data- waveform. The voltage of the waveform is sampled at successive sampling intervals, signals of opposite polarity to the intersymbol interference at the respective sampling interval are added to each sampled voltage, whereby the intersymbol interference is minimised, and the moduli of the magnitudes of the added signals are summed to provide a signal representative of the data- waveform eye height.

Title: Medical infusion system
IPC: A61M5/142
Filed: 1981-03-02
Abstract: A medical infusion system has a pump and cassette (16) combination for conducting fluid or semisolids from an upstream portion to a downstream portion of the system. The cassette includes a rigid enclosure (17) defining a pumping chamber (18) and has a window (25) with a diaphragm (27) spanning the window. The diaphragm is engaged by means on the pump for varying the volume of the pumping chamber. The configuration of the cassette is such that the outlet (23) for the pumping chamber is located at the top of the pumping cavity and the internal configuration of the cavity causes gas bubbles to migrate to the outlet opening. A passage (29) communicates between the outlet opening and a location proximate to the lower portion of the cassette. Alternatively, the outlet opening may extend vertically or horizontally from the top of the pumping chamber and communicate with a flexible conduit. <IMAGE>

Title: Fluid observation gauge
Inventor: DOBSON ALFRED
IPC: G01F23/02
Filed: 1983-06-08
Abstract: Eye piece 10 having a viewing aperture 11 and a shoulder 12 supporting a transparent block 13 is held a predetermined distance away from object plate 14 by means of a ring 15. This reduces the pressure exerted on the intervening leaf of translucent protective material 17 (e.g. mica) on fitting of the object plate and thereby minimizes the likelihood of said leaf 17 crazing and destroying the optical paths. The ring 15 may be accommodated in a recess in the eye piece 10 and/or the object plate 14. Preferably the viewing aperture 11 is larger than hitherto having a minimum diameter 7mm to 10mm, thereby further reducing the pressure on the leaf 17 and permitting use of inexpensive brass washers 18, 19, 21, 23. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2128831-A (GB)
Title: Integrated power on reset (por) circuit for use in an electrical control system
Inventor: BROWN THOMAS ALFRED
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 1983-10-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a power on reset circuit which in an electrical control system may be fully integrated without the requirement of an additional pin or the use of any non-integratable circuit elements. The POR circuit prevents any memory elements subject to its control from assuming random states when power is first turned on or when power is interrupted and re- applied. The protection is based upon sensing a voltage level intermediate to the supply voltage in a conductive non-reactive path connected across the supply voltage, and generating a preset pulse. The preset pulse starts at the instant at which on chip memory becomes valid, and continues until initialization is assured. The circuit contains hysteresis to ensure protection during momentary interruptions in the supply of power. <IMAGE>

Title: Blood filter
Inventor: GORDON LUCAS STREATOR
IPC: B01D27/00
Filed: 1984-02-07
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a blood filter comprises the sealing of the ends of a cylindrically, vertically pleated blood filter material by means of a curable resin wherein the curing and shaping of the resin is aided by heat means and a means for producing centrifugal force. A potting cap 6 is placed over one end of the filter cylinder, in which a hollow central core has optionally been inserted, and the assembly inverted and placed in a recess in a metal block 9. The assembly is then spun in a centrifuge while heating the block 9. Uncured resin, in the core 3 (if present) or in the cap 6 is thus forced into the bottom of the cap 6 where it cures and seals to the end of the filter cylinder. <IMAGE>
